Xinxiang brewing "big move" The first chassis-changing cars will be officially launched

In August 2011, China's first electric passenger car based on chassis replacement completed internal test. Liu Chonghao, the technical director of Xinneng Electric Vehicle Company, told reporters that by the end of August, 40 electric taxis using the technology will be officially launched in Xinxiang, Henan.

The Xinxiang municipal government chose the taxi company as a demonstration carrier to carry out the operation model of electric vehicle promotion. The new energy taxis went offline and put into use. The governments of Henan Province and Xinxiang Municipality took out a large amount of financial subsidies. On the one hand, they encouraged the replacement of scrapped fuel taxis, and on the other hand, they encouraged rents that did not reach the end of the year. Car replacement. Once this model is successful, it will directly promote the promotion of electric vehicles in the mainstream market, forming a powerful demonstration effect, and boosting electric vehicles into private cars and official vehicles.

It is reported that the project was first jointly developed by Xinxiang Xinneng Electric Vehicle Company and Universal Solar Energy Technology Co., Ltd. Xinneng Company mainly researches and develops the technology of electric chassis replacement for electric passenger cars. Universal Solar is responsible for the overall power supply solution for battery movement and replacement. The leading technical advantages and long-term cooperation experience of the two parties provide a powerful guarantee for the core power of Xinneng Electric Vehicles. After more than six months of internal measurement, the lithium iron phosphate lithium-ion power supply provided by Universal Solar Energy Co., Ltd. is stable and has satisfactory results.

Since the development of the project, it has received strong support from the Henan Provincial Government and the Xinxiang Municipal Government. It has allocated 40 million yuan as a supporting fund and has specifically formulated a procurement plan for 200 electric passenger cars. In the government sector, the number of fuel vehicles purchased and used will be fully reduced, and each department will replace all fuel vehicles with long-distance official business except 1-2 fuel vehicles for pure electric vehicles.

Xinxiang, with its unique regional and resource advantages, relies on science and technology routes and a complete industrial system to flex its muscles in the promotion of chassis swapping. From the upstream production of raw materials, the research and development of new technologies, to the improvement of supporting facilities, and the promotion and use of vehicle operations, we have completed the building of all industrial chains. Many local leading companies represented by Universal Solar are playing an important role.

In order to cooperate with the use and promotion of Xineng Chassis Exchange Vehicles, the Xinxiang Municipal Government has invested heavily in the construction of new energy vehicle hardware and at the same time increased its efforts to improve infrastructure facilities. Xinxiang City is the first pilot project to build electric passenger cars in urban areas. Chassis exchange technology is the main charge station. In the face of various problems that the project may encounter, Xinxiang City has also taken precautions to clear the way for the chassis-up truck.

First of all, while building a power station, it is also equipped with a mobile train-changing vehicle to realize the replacement of electric passenger cars at any time and solve the problem of insufficient charging stations. Secondly, not only developing new technologies, but also training employees. At present, it has reached a charge-and-replace power station that can change four cars at the same time, each for 3 minutes, basically equal to the speed of refueling, and solved the problem of long charging time. Finally, Universal Solar Energy has a complete set of solutions for the recycling of waste batteries and the use of ladders to ensure the conservation of resources. This can, to some extent, reduce the cost of batteries.

The passenger car project for Xinxiang chassis replacement is a breakthrough and is also a useful attempt of the new business model of the State Grid, which is “mainly changing power supply, supplementing plug-in power supply, centralized charging, and unified distribution”. It is believed that in the near future, as the chassis replacement technology matures, more and more new energy electric passenger cars will be on the road.
